Jeremiah Bligen - Remains Lyrics

When the waters, of raging seas
Are beneath my feet and I've let go of all things
When fire, burns away, everything
All that remains, all that remains, is you
If all that remains, all that remains, is you
Then all that remains, is everything, in you
I'm gonna put this here foot right in front of the other
And cast every doubt, desire upon the altar
Gonna carry my cross and follow your agenda
And what ever your will I won't be offended
Should my feet ever stumble
Guide me with your counsel
My flesh and heart may tap out
But you are my strength and my portion
When life's trippin I can see you in it
Though I'm way past last resort
And I feel stuck, docked at the port
And to close the distance gotta step off the boat
Lord take me by the hand
And every burden that I'm carrying
Some things mean so much
That losing it feels like everything
But Lord remove every string
Let my heart be your throne
Can't size up America's dream
And not run down on my own
He who loves self, wife, mother
Father, Brother, sister, son, or daughter
More than you is not worthy of you
Where I'm out of line, bring it all in order
I have to remember that fire is light
And purification to all us
The difference between baking and burning
Is timing - I'm moving forward
I'm gonna put this here foot right in front of the other
And cast every doubt, desire upon the altar
Gonna carry my cross and follow your agenda
And what ever your will I won't be offended
This Faith walk ain't a cakewalk
It is a battle to March in
Sometimes the cup that we drink from
Can leave us battered up with scaring
Sometimes things fall apart
Loved ones choose what I can't support
Things break that I can't fix
And have to visit lessons I already learned
The devil wanna kill all hope
Use God's no and broad stroke
Paint a narrative, use delay to divide
Oh he can devise a stronghold
Isolate me from your word and presence
From your people keep me second guessing
Like you ain't working this all for my good
Like you ain't on your job this very second
See if you remain then what I have gained
Is not worthy to be compared to what I have lost
Or ever lose - that I might know you
The power, resurrection from death on a cross
Better than anything I'll ever have
Better than anywhere I'll ever be
In you the blind see, lame walk, mute speak
You are all that I need
I'm gonna put this here foot right in front of the other
And cast every doubt, desire upon the altar
Gonna carry my cross and follow your agenda
And what ever your will I won't be offended
When the waters, of raging seas
Are beneath my feet and I've let go of all things
When fire, burns away, everything
All that remains, all that remains, is you
If all that remains, all that remains, is you
Then all that remains, is everything, in you
